Oratio
A
PERI, Dómine, os meum ad benedicéndum nomen sanctum tuum: munda quoque cor meum ab ómnibus vanis, pervérsis et aliénis cogitatiónibus; intelléctum illúmina, afféctum inflámma, ut digne, atténte ac devóte hoc Offícium recitáre váleam, et exaudíri mérear ante conspéctum divínæ Majestátis tuæ. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. R. Amen.D

In Deo sperávi.Psalmus 55
M
ISERÉRE mei, Deus, quóniam conculcávit me homo: tota die impúgnans tribulávit me.Conculcavérunt me inimíci mei tota die: quóniam multi bellántes advérsum me.
Ab altitúdine diéi timébo: ego vero in te sperábo.
In Deo laudábo sermónes meos, in Deo sperávi: non timébo quid fáciat mihi caro.
Tota die verba mea exsecrabántur: advérsum me omnes cogitatiónes eórum in malum.
Inhabitábunt et abscóndent: ipsi calcáneum meum observábunt.
Sicut sustinuérunt ánimam meam, pro níhilo salvos fácies illos: in ira pópulos confrínges.
Deus, vitam meam annuntiávi tibi: posuísti lácrimas meas in conspéctu tuo,
Sicut et in promissióne tua: tunc converténtur inimíci mei retrórsum:
In quacúmque die invocávero te: ecce, cognóvi, quóniam Deus meus es.
In Deo laudábo verbum, in Dómino laudábo sermónem: in Deo sperávi, non timébo quid fáciat mihi homo.
In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudatiónes tibi.
Quóniam eripuísti ánimam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu: ut pláceam coram Deo in lúmine vivéntium.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
Psalmus 56
M
ISERÉRE mei, Deus, miserére mei: quóniam in te confídit ánima mea.Et in umbra alárum tuárum sperábo, donec tránseat iníquitas.
Clamábo ad Deum altíssimum: Deum qui benefécit mihi.
Misit de cælo, et liberávit me: dedit in oppróbrium conculcántes me.
Misit Deus misericórdiam suam, et veritátem suam, et erípuit ánimam meam de médio catulórum leónum: dormívi conturbátus.
Fílii hóminum dentes eórum arma et sagíttæ: et lingua eórum gládius acútus.
Exaltáre super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram glória tua.
Láqueum paravérunt pédibus meis: et incurvavérunt ánimam meam.
Fodérunt ante fáciem meam fóveam: et incidérunt in eam.
Parátum cor meum, Deus, parátum cor meum: cantábo, et psalmum dicam.
Exsúrge, glória mea, exsúrge, psaltérium et cíthara: exsúrgam dilúculo.
Confitébor tibi in pópulis, Dómine: et psalmum dicam tibi in géntibus:
Quóniam magnificáta est usque ad cælos misericórdia tua, et usque ad nubes véritas tua.
Exaltáre super cælos, Deus: et super omnem terram glória tua.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
Psalmus 57
S
I vere útique justítiam loquímini: recta judicáte, fílii hóminum.Étenim in corde iniquitátes operámini: in terra injustítias manus vestræ concínnant.
Alienáti sunt peccatóres a vulva, erravérunt ab útero: locúti sunt falsa.
Furor illis secúndum similitúdinem serpéntis: sicut áspidis surdæ, et obturántis aures suas,
Quæ non exáudiet vocem incantántium: et venéfici incantántis sapiénter.
Deus cónteret dentes eórum in ore ipsórum: molas leónum confrínget Dóminus.
Ad níhilum devénient tamquam aqua decúrrens: inténdit arcum suum donec infirméntur.
Sicut cera, quæ fluit, auferéntur: supercécidit ignis, et non vidérunt solem.
Priúsquam intellígerent spinæ vestræ rhamnum: sicut vivéntes, sic in ira absórbet eos.
Lætábitur justus cum víderit vindíctam: manus suas lavábit in sánguine peccatóris.
Et dicet homo: Si útique est fructus justo: útique est Deus júdicans eos in terra.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Wednesday Sext
Before the Office is begun, it is commendable to say the following Prayer, the singular number being used throughout; for which Pope Pius XI granted an indulgence of 3 years (S. Ap., November 17, 1933).
Prayer
O
PEN my mouth, O Lord, to bless thy holy name: cleanse also my heart from all vain, evil and distracting thoughts; enlighten my understanding, inflame my will, that I may worthily recite this Office with attention and devotion, and deserve to be heard in the presence of thy divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.O
Lord, in union with that divine intention with which thou didst praise God on earth, I offer to thee this Hour.O
UR Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.H
AIL, Mary, full of grace; The Lord is with thee: blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, JESUS. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.V.
O God, come to my assistance.R.
O Lord, make haste to help me.Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Alleluia,
or Praise be to Thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory.Hymn
O
GOD of truth, O Lord of might,Who orderest time and change aright,
Who send’st the early morning ray,
And light’st the glow of perfect day;
E
xtinguish thou each sinful fire,And banish every ill desire;
And while thou keep’st the body whole,
Shed forth thy peace upon the soul.
A
lmighty Father, hear our cry,Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.

In God have I hoped.Psalm 55
H
AVE mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.
From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.
In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.
All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel.
As they have waited for my soul, for nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces.
O God, I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight,
As also in thy promise. Then shall my enemies be turned back.
In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.
In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:
Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Psalm 56
H
AVE mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee.And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
I will cry to God the most High; to God who hath done good to me.
He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me.
God hath sent his mercy and his truth, and he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled.
The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
They prepared a snare for my feet; and they bowed down my soul.
They dug a pit before my face, and they are fallen into it.
My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and rehearse a psalm.
Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early.
I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.
For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Psalm 57
I
F in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.
The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.
Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.
God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.
Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.
The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
